The most recent update fixed the grounding issue.. but now more often than not the screen won't register any touches on the top bar. It also will freeze in transition between sense UI slides.
Anyone else having this problem? I'm taking it back to Sprint to show them the problem.

I was starting to think I was going crazy... I didn't have any grounding issues before the recent update (tested in a variety of ways), but there have been a few times since updating where the screen was not responding properly. I thought it was 'hanging' or something.
Is this what's happening to you/anyone else?
I cant recall having this but i do know someone said it fixed the touch lag too...well not on my device!

I remember reading a few days back about people having issues with screen tearing. My screen will display a symptom where it has a jagged line shoot across the center area of the screen real fast and then go away. I was wondering if anyone found a solution to that?

No progress has been made, yet. Some think it will be fixed in a software update. When I notified Google support of the issue, they thought it was a hardware problem, but if several people have the issue, maybe it's software.
I'm hoping it is fixed in a software update. That is literally the only issue I have with the tablet.

Yeah I hope so too, but I already have a replacement on the way. I have some other issues with mine though that I felt warranted getting a replacement.
Does the tearing happen to you all the time or just in certain apps? It only happens on mine when I'm playing music. It will show up for a split second as a quick horizontal line then disappear. The line appears in different areas of the screen each time. I notice it the most when it happens in Chrome, but I've seen it on the homescreen and in other apps as well.
Mine happens frequently throughout the ui. Xda app, chrome, everywhere really. If it is a software issue though there really is no point in exchanging. It seems to happen more frequently in an app with a light background.

I have this problem as well.. I only notice it in tapatalk though.. I'm not sure If its because I use tapatalk all the time or what..

Mine happens in chrome pretty regularly as well. Could it be something with the video drivers for this thing?

So apparently it was a bad kernel that I was using that caused the problems. Flashed a completely stock build and the problems are gone. To the people that chimed in and said they had the issue, are you on a stock ROM or did you change that and the kernel?

I've noticed this, but it's only happened twice (so far), Once was whilst using chrome, the other time just sat on the homescreen. I'm currently using stock.
(Not too worried, just as long as it's not a line of pixels about to give up the ghost as some other people have had).

Happens to me on stock rom. My N7 is not rooted or unlocked.
Pretty sure this only happens when you force GPU acceleration. I had the same issue, turned it off, and never saw it again.
Of course I love GPU acceleration too much to leave it off, but a jagged line every once in a while is not a deal-breaker for me.

Glad it worked for you, but I don't have that option on nor any other's enabled in the development menu. Regardless, the issue persists.
Is there anyone else having this issue?
I received a replacement today, but I couldn't escape defects on that on that one either. I'm trying to figure out if I should hang in there for a fix on the screen tearing/horizontal line issue, or if I should just send both back and call it a day.

I just found this thread. I have the same issue. I'm on stock kernel, unlocked/rooted, and stock rom. I don't have GPU acceleration forced.
Any further ideas? Could be a driver issue.

People here think the screen flickering issue could be resolved in software, but I'm not sure about the issue we are having.
I might go through the unlocking process just to see if the horizontal line stuff happens on other roms/kernels.
I really hope it can be addressed in a software update. I just struck out on my 3rd nexus. All of them have screen defects. All have had other issues like creaking and slight screen lift, but those are a lot less of a problem to me. The original one is ok except for the horizontal line issue. My two replacements each have dead pixels and dust in central areas of the screen.
This is ending up to be a very tiring and disappointing pursuit.
If it's a software problem it's likely to be in the tegra3 proprietary driver blobs. If this is indeed the case, changing rom and/or kernel will make little difference (because they share the same blobs).
It might be possible to work around the issue outside of the blobs but its likely only nvidia can fix the root cause.

Hopefully someone at Google watches some of these threads. I have 2 nexus 7s with this issue. Thanks for trying to save me the time of trying a different ROM/kernel, but I might still try a CM10 build for kicks.
My first tablet had one dead pixel and it had this issue too. My second one is perfect except for this problem. It probably does have to do with the tegra 3. I hope its a software issue because this one is perfect except for that one problem. I'm not rooted nor unlocked and no force GPU rendering either. It only occurs on some apps with mine. Tapatalk, facebook and barely ever on chrome. I haven't seen it on any games or video nor on the home screen. There should be a place to report this to Google... I doubt they are searching through xda looking for every little problem. I've had this issue for a while and have been searching specifically for bit and just found it today. Also I never see it in horizontal mode.

I have this issue too and I think it's likely to be a driver issue as it appearance seems random and sporadic in frequency, but it's always really hard to tell about these things.
In any I'm guessing some people just don't notice this issue and thus haven't really talked about it. But it sure is discomforting seeing it.
I seem to suffer from this too.. Everything is stock on mine, no mods, no flashes no unlocks.. It appears to be worse when its been on for a long time.. Wondering if its heat related?
Any one else have a jittery screen? Occasionally my screen seems to glitch and like... I don't know... Fizzle to the right kind of and then returns to normal. Is this a known issue? Any one else have the issue I describe? I can't tell if it's the phone or the firmware (Stock), and if resetting it will work out or not. I think it's the phone personally and could classify as a manufacturers defect. Any thoughts?

That started happening to me too; I just thought it was an app freaking out. Every now and then it just jiggles left and right, as if it were shaking. Heck, I even had it happen in TWRP w/ Safestrap when doing a backup.
You have me worried about my own device now, lol.
I am on 4.1.2 and have not seen this issue before the update. I am rooted, but not unlocked.
Yea happens to me too never happened until the update

It happened to me before the update but not at all this bad, nor as noticeable.
Maybe it is software related them. This came with 4.1.1 just updated the other day and now it is definitely worse.

Mine does it as well. Looks similar to how the screen shakes when you enter the screen lock password incorrectly but seems to be random. Most likely a software issue.

Yeah, but, it happens way too much for it to be acceptable or normal. Simple as that, my phone should not be twitching.
It went from happening once or twice every other day, to happening more than ten to twenty times a day. That's unnecessary, and unbelievably annoying.
I think I'm going to call Motorola.

Happens to me as well, both at the lock screen and when using the phone, ( like browsing the internet) Most likely software related and not something to worry about
Mine does it too, seems to be common with this device.
I would assume firmware too, due to the above report of it happening in recovery.
It should still be brought to Motorola's attention in my opinion. It seems to be getting worse on my device though.

Happening to me to. I'm completely stock, non-rooted, running the latest OTA 4.1.2
Seems to be getting worse too
Happening to me since the update as well. Stock unrooted.
Also seems to be increasing in frequency.
Yeah my frequency is increasing as well here, and I'm thinking it's firmware / hardware, not software. Driver issue maybe? But I'm thinking it's mostly hardware related since most seem not to be having the issue we have, leading me to believe it's a manufacturer's defect

Hmm, so other ROMs are unaffected. Interesting. Weird since mine does it in safe strap (twrp), but I guess its a very low level driver freaking out.

Not sure really. It's like to switch to another Rom to test if it happens on non stock on my phone... But I'm not doing anything to it until I see a Rom that I feel is stable enough and aosp based.

Randomly it seems, when I tap on the touchscreen on my new N7 2013, nothing happens, and I have to repeat the process several times before my touches are registered.
Does anyone else have this problem?

See my thread titled " Another touch issue, with reproducible steps".
Go into developer options and enable "Show touches" and "Pointer location"
If you see your touches registering but the app isn't responding, it is probably a problem with the app. If you see random stuff on the screen, probably a problem with the digitizer or digitizer in combination with the driver/software in this release.
Ive experienced this a few times and it seems to be a software /hardware interface issue with particular custom rom builds ive installed. I know the touchscreen hardware itself was fine when I forced reboot into recovery and the touchscreen worked as normal in custom recovery.

I wouldn't. If you had a Verizon Galaxy Nexus when it came out, you'll remember that it had the same issue with certain points on the screen (lower right hand corner) when using multi-touch applications. The entire screen would either stop seeing input or start going erratic and creating faulty inputs that weren't happening. It isn't a hardware issue, proven by some users experiencing it and some not. The only time I've experienced it is in the Netflix application while trying to choose a show to watch. I re-boot the application and viola, no more issue. Some in this thread even are stating that they only see the problem sometimes after getting the 4.3 update.
In short, it's software and not hardware.
Same issue when not touching with both hands somehow (like if the tablet is flat on a table).

Haven't had a problem with mine. I just got it today, and it's worked like a charm. I bought mine from Gamestop if that helps any.
I am on the APD3 of Canadian version. I have noticed of late when using google keyboard that some of my keypresses are not getting registered unless I press forcefully. Not sure if this is due to the update making screen less sensitive?
A software bug? or is it from the screen protector. Am using a TPU style but have had it on for some time and never had this issue on the original firmware.
This and Android system being between 15-20% I am about ready to downgrade.........
I have similar problems especially when typing. I think it will be fixed over time
